Weather 47 and cloudy with little wind. Was planning to run a very easy 4 miles, but after 2 miles I realized all systems were go. I have not felt strong in a few months, so I did not want to waste this rare moment on an easy jog. When I got to the country club I did a mini fartlek workout on the 7th and 8th fairways, 3x300, when I finished those I was happy that my breath felt easy and free, made a quick recovery unlike last week when the strides made me gag for 3 miles. I circled the cemetery and sprinted the short hill. When I entered Busey Woods I kicked the pace up about 2 gears without thinking about it, and was able to run this pace for about 1000m to finish off the session. 4 sets of strength exercises, and 40 minute walk home. |
